description This paper proposes a simple knowledge base enrichment based on parse tree patterns with a semantic filter. Parse tree patterns are superior to lexical patterns used commonly in many previous studies in that they can manage long distance dependencies among words. In addition, the proposed semantic filter, which is a combination of WordNet-based similarity and word embedding similarity, removes parse tree patterns that are semantically irrelevant to the meaning of a target relation. According to our experiments using the DBpedia ontology and Wikipedia corpus, the average accuracy of the top 100 parse tree patterns for ten relations is 68%, which is 16% higher than that of lexical patterns, and the average accuracy of the newly extracted triples is 60.1%. These results prove that the proposed method produces more relevant patterns for the relations of seed knowledge, and thus more accurate triples are generated by the patterns.
